"Killers of the flower moon"

Its a really mid movie that is one hour too long.
I watched it because I was told De Niro's acting in this was supposed to be good, but personally I wasnt that impressed, instead I found Leo dicapraios acting incredibly good.
This movie has done two things for me.
1. Convinced me white people are evil and that all indigenous people should have claims to their rightful land and be exempt from taxes.

2. Made me think Leonardo dicaprio might be a better actor than Robert deniro.

>>40209557 (OP)
neither of them can act. they're just celebrities. put either on a stage and see how well he "acts"

>>40209570
>neither of them can act

Nah you're tripping. Have you seen taxi driver? Godfather?
Have you not seen shutter island?

Cmon dude. Theyre great fucking actors at the top of their craft.

>>40209557 (OP)
Great blogpost anon!

>>40209592
it's all camera work and the structure of their faces, i.e. kuleshov effect. compare someone like glenn close to robert deniro. it's obvious how much deniro relies on the camera to do his acting for him. i do agree that, between the two of them, dicaprio is the better actor. the chip on his shoulder caused him to develop acting chops that celebrities usually lack

>>40209738
Thank you ONISAN!

>>40209760
Ok then wise goy, name me some good actors.

>>40209811
glenn close, meryl streep, gary oldman, john lithgow (in that order). i enjoy DDL although he's too method for my personal taste. unironically, nic cage. as far as the youths are concerned, caleb landry jones is very good. and it was deeply upsetting to me that they cast that little 5'2 wisp of a girl as abby in "last of us" when katy o'brian is actively working

Are you for real?

>>40209843
Ah its rage bait. Based.
You should have snuck Jared Leto in their for the cherry on top that would be TRUE kino anon chan.

>>40209884
Yes. The americans took their land unjustly, so the remaining natives should be treated like royalty and be payed in taxes like royalty.

>>40209930
not baiting. nic cage is the peak of celebrity "actors." you ain't seen "bad lieutenant: port of call new orleans"? or "mandy"? or "wild at heart"?

>>40209930
>The americans took their land unjustly
That doesn't exist before 1945, everyone killed each other. Even today the rules are bent if you're powerful enough. But I agree that there should be a greater effort in keeping their cultures alive, for cultural diversity reasons. But seeking compensation from people weren't born to do them harm isn't right.

>>40209930
Yeah it kind of infuriates me thinking about progressives who are really into posturing with land acknowledgements but will do absolutely nothing to push for better material conditions for natives currently living. The history of white settlers interaction with natives is having an infinite parade of butchers revealed to you

>>40209981
>didn't exist before 1945
Actually I would say endless periderous behavior of establishing and then violating your own treaties does make it unjust. Even Rome at least respected certain legalities and they were a far crueler society

I'm injun from northern alberta and it is grim. Treaty 8. every summer we line up for a performative equivalency of the old treaty... a literal 5 dollar bill from mounties... it's cool doe we have powwow scheduled around it and it's funny

>>40209951
>wild at heart"?

I tried. It was boring. I saw him play a schizo vampire tho that was fun. Still think its bait.

>>40209986
Its kinda a grim topic but when you look at things objectively, its hard to pain americans as anything other than the fire nation.
Theyre just assholes and their people are even assholes amonst each other.
They literally make money by being a world mafia sorry cough i mean police.

Like yea they often joke aboutinvading for stealing oil..... but is it really a funny joke when its true....*clown face*...

No matter how you look at it they are oppressors. And there is nothinf anyone can do because they are just too strong.

But thats just the nature of reality. There is no peace or balance, its just an endless torrent of suffering and orgasm.

>my political and historical views are informed by hollywood movies

>>40210045
Brutal

>>40210075
Yes.
*chad face*
Mewing rn

What I told you that central asia used to be full of white people... but you don't care cause you can only milk whites out of their money and not asians.

>>40210062
America is the modern Roman Empire full stop. That means it deploys the full machinations of empire with the main purpose of keeping global trade running

>>40210087
>Yes.

>>40210126
I have a LOT of beef with the roman empire too. First of all

Ancient greeks >>>>>> ancient romans

The romans were just larpers trying to emulate the grateness of a far superior culture.
And just in general i dont like the roman people. The germanics and gauls are all far more likeable.

>>40210156
shit take given that greece wasn't captive until the imperial period

>>40210156
>I have a LOT of beef with events told to me in hollywood movies that inform my beliefs.

>willingly admits to being brainwashed by hollywood
Yep, its tranimetard alright.

>>40210187
Ancient romans literally copied most of their culture from the ancient greeks, but the copies are all mid, and the culture is general just wasn't based.

They had good infrastructure ill give them that. But i bet the inventors of those marvels were not actually roman but kidnapped from elsewhere.
Where was socrates, where was plato? Not in rome thats for sure.

>>40210261
>Ancient romans literally copied most of their culture from the ancient greeks
Tranimetard actually believes this, poor scum just regurgitates shitposts from /his/ thinking that they are informed, just like how they think hollywood movies is what should guide their views on things.

>>40210187
Rome was conquered by Etruscans who were greatly influenced by Greeks. The most common books in Roman libraries were Homer's books cause Rome claimed to be Troy's successors, which Troyans were also Greek according to the Homer's works and it's something all Greeks and Romans believed in. Of course now we know that Troy wasn't a Greek city, and Rome wasn't a Trojan city either, but it's a testament to the influence the Greeks had on the Romans thanks to the Etruscans.
>>40210261
All you need is to be a good conqueror, if Rome hadn't conquered western Europe and western Europe didn't conquer the world it's possible all of Europe would be arabic or turco/persian and we wouldn't care about ancient Greeks and we would consider Persians and Arabs as great minds and civilizations.

Now this is a film

>>40210326
You are talking to an tranimetard idiot, its very likely they don't even know who the Etruscans are, and they certainly don't know who the Greeks "copied" most of their culture from.

>>40210314
Its not an opinion i have from his. Its an opinion i have from just knowing some basic...history.


Name me 5 great people from rome. And i will name you 5 far greater people from athens


The ancient romans have Jupiter(boring, weak aura)

The ancient greeks have ZEUS MUDDAFUCKER THE FUCKING OG THE KING THE G BIG ONE

They don't make em like they used to. And you can do tgis exact comparison for every facet that rome copies off athens.

Fu k the romans!!!

>>40210388
Horrific post from an outright underage, mentally stunned manchild, or just a woman. Regardless, you are a disgrace.

>>40210398
Sorry kido, but ancient rome sucks.
Also in pompei they were wading around in shit and piss so they built rocks into the road to side step the shit

>>40210458
Read some primary sources so you can stop embarassing yourself like this. Are you a gaul or something? I don't get it. Greeks also conquered a shot ton of people, much more than the Romans in fact, they just chose the wrong direction and did it to the east.

>>40210075
>>40210220
do you have an actual disagreement with the events depicted in the movie or are you just here to jew-bait

>>40210596
Do I disagree with the events depicted in the movie? How about asking a much greater question: should one even be watching these forms of mindless slop at all, and more importantly - should one really be forming an opinion on historical events from M O V I E S over real actual books on the subject? Mind you, to even read just one book and say you form an opinion on soemthing is embarrassing enough, it should be multiple, and to say you form an opinion from one MOVIE is such a ghastly affair that I might hang myself if I were ever ignorant enough to suggest the event had even happened at all.
